Because the roller skating rink was closed on Monday, I went to go see Maleficent (because princesses are always a great cure when your dreams are crushed).
That charming little movie left a tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day. To be completely honest, it might still be there. I’ve never been a huge fan of Sleeping Beauty; Maddie is more of an Ariel kind of girl. I’d be lying if I said my hair did not play a large part in this.
Anyways, “Once Upon A Dream” is still the best of all princess songs. Sorry mermaids.
Aurora may dream about mysterious princes in the mountains, but I prefer my guys at the beach.
Just kidding (not).
But right now boys aren’t really important. Let’s talk about this dress folks.
The second I saw it, it was love at first sight. Normally I don’t buy things unless they have sale stickers, but this little number was an exception.
And just when it couldn’t get any better, I realized that it was inspired by my own inspiration.
Lauren Conrad ya’ll
Since we’re on the topic of dreams, I’ll go ahead and tell you mine.
When I was little, I answered the “what do you want to be when you grow up” question with “a mermaid”.
Now I think “LC”.
I don’t actually want to be Lauren, but I want to do what she does. When I’m all old and grown, I want to work at a magazine. I want to write and look at beautiful pictures and create things that people love to read and see.
And right now, this little dress reminds me of that dream.
Thanks to 3/4 sleeves, she’s perfect for a day you’ll be stuck inside freezing air conditioning. It’s also great in the cooler months (with the addition of tights and boots of course).
Plus, a darling bow and keyhole combo makes the backside pretty.
And vintage Argentine cowboy boots make just about everything pretty.
Whether you dream of beach boys or mountain ones or even of becoming a mermaid when you grow up, I wish you the best of luck!
Also remember that princess movies are a great alternative when the roller skating rink is closed. Happy Wednesday!
Love,
Maddie
